Unfortunately, that's not in the rules and double-unfortunately, the only way to enforce it if it was in the rules would be for everyone to submit their videos.
Oh well, looks like I'm going to have to start crashing to get faster laptimes

I told you my lap was a mess... I just got lucky that it was kinda fast. I can't seem to go that fast if I intentionally hit stuff, or if I drive clean. I have to *accidentally* hit stuff.
I ran a 1'05.7xx with a "realistically" clean line... so it's not impossible to go fast w/o hitting stuff. It's just way easier to use the edges in some spots... kinda like the WRC guys use the snow banks in Rally Sweden. One corner is especially bad... the long left 5 tightens to 3 after the left 2 into right 2. The "proper" GT4 line is to setup a *massive* drift that slows you down to nearly a stop where you then accelerate out of the tighter corner. The "real" line would be to drive the fast part of the corner "grip", then drift the slow part of the corner. The "fast" line is to just crash into the outside edge of the turn and ride the wall with your foot on the floor.
Also, I had to turn the force feedback on my wheel down to prevent burning out the motor. Being smooth doesn't seem to work for me... I have to saw that wheel like a lumberjack to keep the car pointed the way I want it with my foot on the floor.
Is anyone else starting to hate GT4 rally as much as I do yet? Sure it's fun to go slide around in the dirt, but if you're looking for consistant lap times for competition purposes, GT4 rally is just a bunch of crap.
